Imagine you love God and His Church. Imagine that you feel that things have gone dangerously off-the-rails. The Church has bowed down to secular authority in ways you could never have dreamed of. The leadership of the Church is making compromises with sin under the guise of neighborly ecumenism. But you are afraid to talk about all that with your people, lest someone rat you out to the bishop for unapproved attitudes. You are afraid to confide in your fellow clergy, because unless you are bosom buddies, they could also denounce you to authority for your crimethink. https://orthodoxreflections.com/isolated-priests-and-the-opportunities-for-the-burning-bush-brotherhood/

All these interfaith dialogues are done in secret and behind doors. There is no transparency. Not one of the Ecumenist hierarchs talks openly on the matter. The Orthodox faithful have no idea of what is happening, or what will happen to their Orthodox Faith. The Catholics have a multitude of heresies. They will not withdraw any of those heresies. How can we, the Orthodox, be united with them and still be divided on the issues that we all know?

Orthodox Christians have indicated to us that their priests are unwilling to support their requests for religious exemptions. A segment of Orthodox priests and bishops believe the vaccines are morally acceptable. While this situation is frustrating, it is not really a barrier to requesting a religious exemption. You do not need clergy support for a religious exemption to the Covid vaccines. What matters is your deeply held, sincere interpretation of your religious beliefs. https://orthodoxreflections.com/for-covid-vaccine-religious-exemptions-your-sincerely-held-beliefs-are-what-matter/

Comments are turned off. I wonder why? Maybe because this doctor is lying on so many levels? At least you can vote it down.

Our regulatory, corporate, political, and medical establishments are thoroughly and totally corrupt.

We can start our examination of this fact with the FDA. The FDA is essentially funded by the companies it is supposed to regulate and is run for their benefit, not the public’s. https://orthodoxreflections.com/pfizer-vaccine-approval-is-a-symptom-of-a-corrupt-system/

Archbishop Sotirios in Canada continues to cause problems for the Greek Orthodox Faithful. The latest was denying communion to all the laity present to punish nuns for resisting multiple spoons.

Orthodox Church history teaches us that when the Church falls into conflict with itself, there is only one issue. No matter whether it’s Iconoclasm or Vaccine mandates, the question always is—what is the True Orthodox Faith of the Church?

The goal here is to explain how such an obviously wrong narrative can persist because it is useful to so many different groups for different reasons. There is some overlapping membership between the groups covered below, and some do cooperate actively. But many are quite distinct from each other. There is no villainous “Bond” organization behind all this. If there were, it would be easier to beat. Instead we are up against a massive coalition of “Baptists and bootleggers” all pursuing a common policy – keeping the “pandemic” going as long as possible while radically changing society to suit their own goals.

We put together a collection of resources that illustrate the horrific impacts of the COVID vaccines on human health. Including multiple videos, this page is a great resource to bookmark and share.

Reproductive effects in female tissue do not always manifest themselves in the first generation. We simply don’t have the data to know if this is safe. We need transparency and to trust adults to make their own decisions. Children cannot provide informed consent. We need to err on the side of caution.

We have added links to statements against the vaccines and against vaccine mandates by Bishop Siluan of the Serbian Church and Bishop George of Australia-New Zealand Diocese Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. Praise be to God.

From heroes in scrubs to villains personally demonized by the president. Unvaccinated nurses are at risk, even in Florida. This personal story from a Florida RN should concern everyone - freedom and the stability of our health care system are at stake.

There IS in fact a religious and Patristic angle here, in contrast to Archbishop Elpidophoros’ position. If we don’t defend our God-given αυτεξουσιον (free will), then are we aligned with our Patristic Tradition?

No person should be deprived of their ability, in good conscience and freewill, to question and refuse a proposed medical treatment. Neither the efficacy nor the safety of the available injections has been sufficiently determined. Normal safety studies have not been done. The long-term effects on people both physically and spiritually are unknown. Many people for good reasons still have very substantial ethical, moral, and spiritual concerns about the development, ingredients, and effects of the proffered injection. But some in the Church are all to willing to trample upon the conscience of their brothers and sisters in Christ, whether out of fear or out of unquestioning faith in the honesty of government, its chosen experts, and the mainstream media. The concerns of many Christians are not due to politics or ignorance but are based firmly upon their deep faith and belief in Christ and their love for truth. A troubling new ideology is developing in which even Christians are willing to advocate the “necessity” for the “greater good” of forcing vaccination – injections – against the will and conscience of another believer, in the name of “love.” Such attempts at compulsion through manipulating and distorting the meaning of “love” are abhorrent to the Christian and a distortion of true love found within the phronema of the Church. https://orthodoxreflections.com/orthodox-resistance-to-vaccine-mandates-men-have-become-wolves-to-men/

The vaccine mandates around the world are causing harm to untold millions. New resources page is dedicated to essential resources for:

Speaking from experience, prior to working in pharmaceuticals, my colleagues (nurses and physicians) and I were not taught to report adverse events related to vaccines via the FDA’s VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). The only people I spoke with who were aware of VAERS, previous to COVID-19, were pharmacists. Although “healthcare providers are required by law to report to VAERS,” (VAERS, n.d.) an alarmingly small percentage of health care providers are aware of the system. Of those that are, few take the time to report adverse events related to vaccines via VAERS (McNeil et al., 2013). Even during COVID-19, I have colleagues, who are physicians, who say they are the only ones in their practice reporting events via VAERS because the rest of their colleagues: are not aware of how to report, ridicule them for being “anti-vaxx” if they report, or find the VAERS reporting system too complicated. Another disturbing mentality related to me by my colleagues is how patients suffering possible adverse events related to the vaccines (including cardiac events) would ask their physicians to report the event, but the physicians would refuse and reassure them that the events are not related. However, per the EUA’s of COVID-19 vaccines, “irrespective of attribution to vaccination,” it is illegal for these healthcare providers not to report events, especially serious adverse events resulting in death, hospitalization, etc.

My colleagues (physicians and professors at teaching institutions, including cardiologists and oncologists) have witnessed a large number of serious and even deadly cardiovascular related events. Some of them have even estimated a five-fold increase of myocarditis cases this year. Ironically, all of the physicians (including cardiologists) I spoke with strongly recommend against the Moderna vaccine, but have admitted also seeing thrombotic and other cardiovascular cases with patients receiving some of the other COVID-19 vaccines. https://orthodoxreflections.com/answering-afr-on-covid-and-the-vaccines-with-fr-john-parker-and-dr-ryan-sampson-nash/

Elpidophoros did not incense the average person of Greek descent enough until his recent behaviour at the inauguration of the Turkish House in NYC. Only about 15% of Greeks belong to the Church. But ALL Greeks support their ancestral homeland.
